Abstract:
The interaction of nanoplastics with trophoblasts can potentially disrupt fetal development. The additives associated with nanoplastics, their surface chemistry, and protein corona may lead to oxidative stress and affect the cellular functions. Detailed studies revealing a clear mechanism using an advanced placental model is essential to assess developmental toxicity and guide risk assessment.
